An absorbing story with tantalizing hints of more to come.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review“Gray’s lush and detailed worldbuilding remains a highlight as the sequel delves even deeper into the history and heritage of Lkossa and its surrounding kingdom.” —Paste Magazine“Well-crafted and engaging. . . Beasts of Prey and Beasts of Ruin are riveting reads that should hold great appeal for teenage readers, especially fans of Black Panther and The Hunger Games.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “Beasts of Ruin, like its predecessor, is filled with action and tension. There are fights, spells, chases, twists, betrayals, a wicked villain, and fantastical creatures throughout the novel’s short, punchy chapters. She weaves African myths and legends of frightening creatures like the kongamato into her narrative, and explores the impact of discrimination and cultural erasure.” —Arkansas Democrat-Gazette “[A] tale of courage, curiosity, and magic.”—Sheen Magazine“Gray returns to her captivating world of beasts, secrets, and vengeful gods in this follow-up. . . boast[ing] a more expansive world… Readers who easily lost themselves in Koffi and Ekon’s story will devour their continued journey. . . An engaging sequel gearing up for an explosive third book.” —Booklist“Gray’s writing balances high stakes with strong narrative voices as she expands on the cast of characters.
